15 Best Places To See Pennsylvania’s Abundant Wildflowers
Apr.30.2021
Wildflowers can be found everywhere and depending on where you live during all seasons. In Pennsylvania, there is a wealth of wildflower patches. Wildflowers begin blooming in early March, and we enjoy wildflowers till late fall when the frosts arrive.
The best time to view an abundance of wildflowers is May through early autumn. National Wildflower Week is held each year the first full week of May. What better time to go out and enjoy nature and hunt for some beautiful wildflowers?
Wildflowers grow naturally and can grow just about anywhere. Some grow in areas where there is lots of moisture. Others grow on rocks, some in meadows, and some in the woods.
As the weather warms up, folks are turning outdoors for solace.
Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, health officials continue to emphasize the importance of social distancing when possible. For many who want to make up for lost time with family and friends, and get outside, kayaking has become a popular pastime.
There are more kayakers than ever, said Mike Parker, communications director with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. People are itching to get out this spring, he said. Last year, we sold 40% more launch permits than we did in 2019.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the Fish and Boat Commission has advocated for outdoor activities, saying activities like fishing, kayaking and others can be done safely.
